Complaints and Remedies
How to complain about a breach of the Act and what can happen.
Complaints
A person, or someone for them, may complain about a breach to the department, the district attorney or the court. Complaints may be made in any form and without penalty.
Possible outcomes
- An order to provide the accommodation.
- Department discipline of an officer or official.
- Civil penalty or damages set by a court.
- A criminal charge where the act is also a crime.
Retaliation
Punishing a person for making or supporting a complaint is itself a breach of this Act.
